Im on the look out for some new frames (only need them for shortsightedness and use them rarely but still).
The following is a list of reputable eyewear shops: Metsuki Retro and vintage Kings of Past - in Canada but ship worldwide Sites that allow you to "try glasses online"

A couple of links that Andy passed on to me a while back.... www.vintage-sunglasses-shop.com I ended up with IC Berlins which are a very nice low profile/slim frame, although the lenses were never right from the start. I recently paid visit to these: http://www.20-20.co.uk/stores.asp Some nice designer frames on offer. |

If you are after some vintage/retro looking numbers then these guys are great, Somebody was knocking some of there stuff out on Ebay but if not then loads of US suppliers will ship them over. |

Keep the suggestions coming. They don't have to be vintage. |

Im a little reluctant about solid black frames, though the effectors do look nice. |

I owned a pair of Effectors and they're nice but I wished I could have tried the Fuzz-s on before buying, ended up selling for another pair. |

Another pair of Effectors but more a squarish frame, can't remember the name. However, you are buying for the hype behind Effectors because they're just another thick pair of black frames except with the connotations behind them. |

Does anyone know any London stockists of LA Eyeworks? The Eye Company Optix at Broadgate Panoptica I would approach them in that order, I think The Eye Company will probably have the best range. |

there are some frames I'd love to order online but I could never buy a pair without trying them on first. I usually have to go back a couple of times before purchasing just to be certain. |
